I dunno dude, this is actually something I've been thinking about a fair bit since leaving Sunny Birmingham. It came from roughly the same concern: won't boring file synchronisation be relatively pointless and arse (aside from the goal of having configuration sycned)? Then I thought about potential collaborative systems around dotfiles and the possibility of doing a similar thing around more structured/secure data like ~/.ssh... Needs more thought -- since leaving Sunny Birmingham I have mostly been stuck on planes and trains -- but there's room for something cool here. - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2008: Melbourne, Australia http://lca2008.linux.org.au/ It makes perfect sense.
